Political Wire: Exclusive look at new Iowa poll

New Poll: Still a Toss Up in Iowa



Political Wire got an advance look at a new Strategic Vision poll in Iowa that shows Sen. Barack Obama leading the Democratic presidential race with 32% support, followed by John Edwards at 29% and Sen. Hillary Clinton at 27%.

On the Republican side, Mitt Romney leads with 30%, followed by Mike Huckabee at 28%; Sen. John McCain at 16% and Fred Thompson at 13%.

Like other polls we've seen in the last week, both races are essentially statistical ties.

Of Course after allll the hype when Edwards WINS Iowa according to the pundits... It won't matter... Once again... :wtf: We have lost our country to the "CORPORATISTS" :nuke:

1. Relax, Obama is still ahead.

[sandnsea]

6. And this is ALL Democrats

So much for the nonsense that he's losing among Democrats in Iowa.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. If Hillary comes in third, she's all but done

That would be amazing.

[antiimperialist]

5. Why don't you say that Hil and Edwards are in a "statistical heat"

If the OP said the Obama and Edwards are in a statistical heat, why don't we say that Edwards and Hillary are in a statistical heat, since only 2% separate them?

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Why would I say that? The way I see it, Obama is in the lead and Edwards is second.

Hillary is bringing up the rear.

12. Standard Deviation/margin of error makes it a Statistical Dead Heat

7. we can only hope...

9. No...if she drops IA, she cans till take NH and be the front runner nationally..

Obama needs 2 of IA, NH, and SC to stay alive I think...

[Joe the Revelator]

10. That's what I'm saying, I think when she loses Iowa...

the conversation is going to turn towards a Obama v. Edwards matchup, allowing her already weak poll numbers in NH to continue to fall.

[Sulawesi]

11. If Obama wins IA, and the continues his rise in NH, HRC is done.

I dont see her losing those and having SC as a firewall. If Obama wins in IA and NH, the African American votes will start to believe and it could get very exciting!

19. Must agree with you on this one. National polls are going on

name rec only at this point. Once the other two get the press they deserve, people will be relieved and anxious to take a look at two fresh faces, comparatively :-)

[TeamJordan23]

14. Don't worry, Bill already told us 'it would be a miracle if Hillary won Iowa.' nm

[emilyg]

20. She doesn't have to win Iowa.

Better put something here for Wolsh. LOL

[Joe the Revelator]

21. I have to disagree

With her poll numbers suffering in NH and SC, if she loses Iowa the winds are going to have shifted.

Happy New Year Emily. I liked your falcons avatar better. Are you in GA?

[emilyg]

22. Transplanted Yankee. Happy in Ga.

Football season is over for Falcons. It was over from game 1. Happy New Year.

13. sarcasm is wonderful on DU too

[suston96]

15. If Hillary comes in third, she's all but done? ....I don't think so.

A couple of things:

If the percentages are close that means the delegates are evenly divided so nobody really wins or loses....and...

if people quit listening to and believing the MSM pundit bullshit that wants to perpetuate the Iowa and New Hampshire misguided irrelevancies in these national but tortured primaries...and instead look to the quasi-national primary day - Feb 5, and those just before and those that follow.

......then Clinton's unyielding prominence in the national polls will win her the well deserved nomination that the majority of the Democrats in this country want her to have.

[DaLittle Kitty]

16. God Help Us All...

The Repubs will beat her handily and in the unlikely circumstance that she were to win... What is it that WE will have won? Zilch, Zero, Nada... $ more years of Corporatism further entrenched and solidified by someone who has been characterized commonly as Bush w/ a skirt. Not my idea of a win... Lets hope the people of Iowa have some sense. :)

[suston96]

17. The Republicans will not beat anyone in this coming GE -presidential or Congress...

As long as Karl Rove and Diebold and their ilk are kept down in the hole with the devil.

[BenDavid]

18. dead heat but HRC is leading and will win by a narrow margin

and obama will drop out of the race. Hey, just saying what you all that are supporters that he is a man of his word, then he will drop out....That according to his wife and then obama last week...

Nice try obama...come back in 2016....

23. Those grapes are really starting to smell sour. nt
